Welcome to Africa's Student Network in Development Research

Welcome to Africa's Student Network in Development Research blogsite. The purpose of this website is to connect university students in and around Africa who specialize in Development Studies or Development Research. This network hopes to bring profile about the programmes in which we have enrolled and the talented people who have dedicated part of their academic career to pursue issues in African economic development, social policy, civil society, governance, HIV/AIDS, and the many other issues which affect this continent today.

The universities which are currently working on this project is the School of Development Studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, in Durban, South Africa and the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Nairobi. We hope to gain further partners and interest of other universities who specialize in the field of development.

This page will also attempt to post events, conferences, job postings and other current news in the development field and build perspective of the atmosphere we, as students in Africa, are surrounded with everyday at our respective schools. Feel free to comment and ask questions about what is happening on the ground! We look forward to better understanding what development students are researching in the African continent and the struggles or successes in conducting such research.
